How much? How might one even define a cell as different if cells look the same morphologically?
Actin filaments, microtubules, and bacterial flagella are all built from small subunits. Describe three advantages of assembling long filamentous structures from subunits rather than from single, long proteins.
The role of GTP hydrolysis in actin polymerization is similar to the role of ATP hydrolysis in tubulin polymerization: both serve to weaken the bonds in the polymer and thereby promote depolymerization. Is that true or false? why?
